There's this system in Belgium when you are sick. If you are sick for one day, that's fine. If you are sick for two days or longer, you have to get a doctor's note for it.
I'm on day two of being sick now and instead of, you know, resting, I have to either take my bike or public transport into the city to go see my doctor so he can physically write me a note. Sure, it might only take a minute of his time but at this time of the year, with everyone getting sick, doing that one minute 20 or 30 times a day gives you less time to help actual patients.
The supposed logic behind this is that your employer can't disregard the note of a medical advisor but I feel like we are evolving backwards that way. There's no need for people like me with a common cold to see a doctor after being sick for two or three days.
Wait you get days off work for the cold?
Well I don't get them, I call in sick. And I most of the time do it for a cold too. First of all because I think we should normalise not working when feeling unwell, second because I don't want to infect others either. I see hundreds of people through work on a weekly basis so me feeling sick can turn into hundreds of people feeling sick and I think that's pretty selfish.
If my place of work has an issue with that, that's up to them. My health and that of others is more important to me. We people work enough already and we should take back some selfrespect.
Had to do the same back in school here in Germany, only difference being that the doctors note was needed on day one. Stupidest shit ever.
It's a dumb system. I'm originally from The Netherlands and never had to deal with anything like this. When I still went to school my mom would call and tell them I was sick and they were like 'Okay get better soon'. When I worked in NL I'd call myself and tell them I was sick. If I was sick for a longer period of time I'd either go to the doctor myself because something was probably wrong or they'd send a doctor for the company to check on me.
Do people abuse that system of trust in The Netherlands? No. There's no need to be overly controlling.
the new godspeed you black emperor album slaps and makes me cry.
NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024, 28K DEAD
just had a fight with europeans about using the word eurasia because we asians don’t wanna be associated with génocidaires. they use the term when it’s convenient and wanna be inclusive and then assault asian minorities in europe, and then it’s asiatic hordes.
That's weird,the people who popularized the term were the Russians,and originally it means something like Russkiy Mir, the Russian sphere of influence rather than some concept of unity between Western Europe and Asia
So it's odd Europeans would use it

And of course Workingclasshistory can stay, being the Anarchists that they are.
The moment Anarchists will finally be a threat to the status quo is the moment they will disappear too. But it will never happen.
I sure would like to disappear right now.
I'm sorry. There are good anarchists out there but my personal experience with our local anarchists are just particularly bad lol
I got sick again. It's not my year when it comes to being sick. Probably because I have close encounters with over 600 people a week so...
I still feel guilty for calling in sick for some reason. But I cannot 1) work while sick and 2) work while sick AND infect possibly hundreds of people.
But we live in a society and we get this pressure to still work even when you're dying, so yeah I get where my anxiety comes from.
I was helping my cousin with choosing and enrolling in classes for university (she’s going to the same one as me) and she told me I’d be a great professor 😭

Win-win cooperation in action. Love it!
Oppo is... well why do you think I would know where she is, I only control the trains, and the opening and closing of the train doors, why would you think I would have anything for that.
That being said I feel I have to do her job because she is not here who else will do it... mwahaMWAHAMWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That pic slaps
From what I can tell this was the photo the DPRK sent to the AP to release with there final warning message. Now I want to meet whoever the photographer was for that shot
I hope you all have a nice week :D
Have a nice week, Oppo! May all of your trains arrive and on time. 🙏
HEY thats my job to control the trains, dont step on my turf
You're the one messing with Oppo's commute!? Well that settles it. We must seize your means of production and smash your bourgeois train machine!
Look its just a power I was born with, I have Dictitoral control over all trains in Europe, note not the EU but Europe the continent
